Beware!!! I have a 2010 equinox that we purchased brand new off dealer lot. Oil has been religiously changed by our fleet mechanic every 3000 miles. Have had engine problems at 60,000 miles replaced camshafts. Now at 70,000 replacing lifters on right bank. Dealership is saying that Chevy sent out a bulletin stating that they would no longer cover warranty work when oil changes are not being done at the dealership. Needless to say we aren't backing down.

I have a 2012 Equinox and it seems to have a hesitation. Also when putting into gear (whether drive or reverse) it seems to have difficulties going into gear and it makes a clinking noise. It almost seems as though a sensor is bad or it's not getting enough fuel or air-intake. It has less than 15,000 miles on it, the oil's been changed as well as tires rotated. I haven't taken it in yet to the dealer, just curious if anyone else has experienced something similar?

I have 2012 Equinox w/ 20K miles and serviced regularly. Having similar hesitation problem occasionally when stepping on accelerator after being stopped. Actually stalled on me yesterday in a light rain. Will see dealer when possible.

Go asap or sooner. Once mine started to stall, it got worse and started happening almost daily. People have had it happen at highway speed in traffic. It's DANGEROUS. After service visit, it's never happened again to mine in 18 months.

ljski, Keep us updated on when you do go in, and if you would like for us to work through that process with you we can be reached via email at socialmedia@gm.com (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and a summary of the situation).

I have gone to the dealership about the hesitation. I don't feel safe merging at high speeds. I was told it was normal and there were no issues. I've contacted GM customer service and they stated that if the dealership said it is normal there is nothing that can be done. What do I do know?

Customer:Is there anything further I shoudl do with getting my car checked out for the hesitation?12:28:25Stephen:At this point the first thing we would have to do is have a GM dealership diagnose the vehicle. However if they state that the vehicle is operating as designed, nothing can be done to the vehicle because nothing has been deemed wrong or broken.12:29:40Customer:So the vehicle is designed to hesitate and jerk.... this isn't a safety concern when entering a highway... how do I know how to judge such a hesitation when merging in high speed traffic?12:31:01Stephen:The vehicle was not designed to hesitate, it is simply acting within the acceptable parameters. However as we discussed, if you feel it is not. You're more than welcome to have the issue diagnosed12:31:19Customer:I have had it diagnosed... thats why I am not talking to you12:31:43Customer:What is my next step above you because I am obviously not getting anywhere12:32:12Stephen:If you'd like, you may write a letter into our corporate offices

Thank you for reaching out to us here on the forum. I understand it can be frustrating if the dealership isn't able to find the exact problem you are experiencing. I can suggest possibly going into another dealer for a second opinion. There is a chance they might be able to pinpoint the cause of your concerns. If you would like for me to locate another dealer in your area I would be happy to do so. Please keep me updated.

I also have feel this hesitation. It very frustrating,you attempt to past and your setting there come on !!, go already. But I though this was the nature of the cars computer. There is some thing very wrong with the computer program. Whether or not it would cause accident or not, don't know.As for my blog. I have complained about poor gas millage. The dealership said there was nothing wrong with Nox. But when they did a update concerning the number miles driven before the next oil change. I started getting two to three more miles to gallon of gas. It would been nice if they had it program right for the first 25,000 miles so that I could have save money on my gas bill.

I have a 2010 AWD 4Cyl LT Equinox. I have no problem getting between 29 - 30 on the highway if I keep it under 70 mph. I do not know where Edmunds and other reviewers are saying that they do not make the EPA MPG estimate as I have no problem with it. I just checked the car and the average fuel economy is 25.4. This car is used primarily for local everyday driving. I would like Edmunds to respond as to the last time they did an MPG check on this vehicle as they prominently post in their review that they could not replicate the EPA estimates. Are they basing these comments on the 4 cyl or 6 cyl version?

I have an 11 LT2 FWD 4 cyl and I've averaged 26.9 over the life of the car with 65k on the odometer now. The lowest it gets when my leadfoot wife drives it in city traffic is 22, I get 25. The best it gets at real world highway driving is 28. I can squeeze 32mpg only by driving steady 55 mph on a flat road with no wind and no traffic. This is the first vehicle I ever owned that I couldn't easily exceed the EPA rating in normal driving. In my opinion we've been lied to. The Equinox chief competition, the Honda CRV, the Toyota Rav-4 and the Subaru Forrester are all rated lower but achieve significantly better mileage than the Equinox.

I am not aware of which options are available at which trim level, or what you may or may not have, but do you have and have you used the auto-climate control if its on yours?
